In a post of at least 150 words, please respond to the following two questions:
In what way did you connect with the narrator in “Salvation?” Why? Refer to specific scenes or language in the story.
Salvation has a strong meaning of how the narrator loses his faith through a wish he wanted to see and never had the chance to experience.In a way i could connect with the narrator in ”salvation” by Langston Hughes because when i was small around 10 year old i’ve always had the wish and faith if visiting my grandma in another country ,while i was told from my dad “i’ll take you soon to visit her” id never got the chance to see her besides our amazing calls we had.In other words,when my grandma passed away at a certain age i had already lost my faith of believing my father in promises and i had grudge with him because my dream never came true.When you want to see something and experience an amazing wish you will always remember that faith it key but not promising .
In what way did you connect with the narrator in “Araby?” Refer to specific scenes or language in the stories.
I connect with the narrator in the article “ Araby” by James Joyce because he is a young boy with disillusionment that is full of excitement ,fun and with imagination .The narrator of the story believes these feelings will carry into his budding adulthood, but instead, he is disillusioned.This article connects with me because i’m a believable person that always get delusional for the smallest things and i agree that it does carry into your path way of growing such as adulthood therefore when you believe and get very excited over man things that you wish to happen it always end being the opposite of getting happy and excited.

Hey Stephanie Flores hope you are fine .
I read your story and it was very sad that you can’t meet your grand mother and your father not completes is promises beacuse of all this sometimes we don’t belive in god and someone’s promises but god has reason behind it all so don’t worry about that .
Hey Stephanie Flores, I can connect to your story because I was once in that position with my grandpa. I would call him telling him id go every year and the one year that I was for sure he passed away months before and at some point I felt guilty because it was his desire and it never happened. I learned to understand that god has his reasons.
Stephanie, thanks for the good comments. Your story of your own loss of faith is very powerful. Please be sure to put your full name in the title of posts. Thanks!
